But then he reminded me that every time he comes over my dog tries to bite him. ---

So I agreed to pay my lawyer to feed my dog. ---

But he can’t make it to my house until tomorrow. ---

So I decided I needed to break out of jail. ---

But that might make my problems even worse. ---

So I said a prayer for my doggy. ---

But then I decided that I should do something that’s actually useful for my doggy. ---

So I told my lawyer to ask my neighbor to feed and water him for today. ---

But my neighbor was still mad I shot him and refused. ---

But this neigh-bor didn’t appreciate my horseplay on YouTube. ---

So I set fire to the jail and escaped in the confusion. ---

But I stubbed my toe in the escape. ---

So I stopped at a park bench to examine it. ---

But there was already an old man sitting on the park bench, eye-ing little girls with bad intent. ---

SO, she bought a Tazer and a can of mace. ---

But she got arrested for carrying harmful objects. ---

So I went and hid in the bushes to look at my toe. ---

But the bushes were filled with thorns, and I scratched myself up good. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-but/663656.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-but/663656.md?page=3)
